Java setBinaryStream

In writing files to a Sybase table, we are using PreparedStatement.setBinaryStream. There are different versions of this method, and we want to use the one where we can just pass an InputStream, along with the colIndex.

But when we use the setBinaryStream(int, InputStream) method, there's an AbstractMethodError. Looking into this, it may be because "our JDBC driver implements an older version of the JDBC API than the one included in our JRE." But we are using jconn4.jar and Java 1.6.0, which seem to be recent enough. We are running the application in WebSphere 8.5.0.2.

The setBinaryStream(int, InputStream) is introduced in java 6. And, you identified correctly it is compatibility issue. Since jconn4.jar is older one, it may not be compatible with java 6. Check which version of JDBC driver is used and it is compatible with Java 6.

Solution to upgrade your JDBC driver as well as other APIs if it is not compatible with Java 6.
